A new magazine, book, and zine store opened in Brooklyn: Quimby's NYC. There is an amazing collection of bike literature. The best in the city gathered in one place, dare I say. It's not Astoria, but it's well worth biking to. The proprietor started Quimby's Bookstore in Chicago in the 1990s. And then he lived in Amsterdam for a long time, where he picked up the bike bug. Yes, he keeps his bike in the store.
Quimby's NYC is located at 536 Metropolitan Ave, in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
